We hates Tiger Tanks, precious.

[FierceKitty]

Well, the subject line says all you really need to be able to extrapolate what happened today.

[Norm]

Typhoons .... that's whats you needs

[FierceKitty]

I had quite good air support. It achieved nothing whatever.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Divisional arty works quite well, also hit em I  the flank !

[slugbalancer]

15" guns from your naval support?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

17lbers? 5.5" guns on call?
If the Brits knew there were Tiggers out there, how about 1000 Lancaster Bombers?

[FierceKitty]

My 17 pdr got blown to scrap on round two!

[DanJ]

Sounds like its time for a new set of rules

Tom Davidson, former owner of the former Dragon & George (a Local Shop for Local Gamers  ) in Glasgow, also hated Tigers, but was forced by limited minis available to take a couple in his OOB for a game of Spearhead many years ago. All I had for arty as the Plucky Brits was a 3" mortar. It needed 2 consecutive die rolls of 11+ on 2d6 to knock a Tiger out...



He never forgot that. I never let him.

The advantages of the Tiger are its relatively long range and its armour. You negate those by getting close and attacking a flank. Question for the Brits (and anyone else) is how?

Cut the range down using smoke so you make a safer approach;
Get on a flank by pinning to the front and rushing someone else up under cover of the smoke.

Might work?

Should do 

...... provided the Tiger doesn't have any friends on the flanks (stugs, jagdpanzers, panzerfaust teams ....) 

..... and the Tiger crew aren't reading this, also! 

[petercooman]

Just use your super firefly . I saw I in a movie once...

Too true - the thing is don't do it piecemeal - You have to mean it.

If it's a points based game then I'd hope that the Tigers were outnumbered, and outnumbered in a historical scenario as well for that matter?

[Chieftain]

Sacrifice 3-4 Shermans to get the Tiger kill? 

That's how it was done after all...
